So I've started playing around with the Nid army in 7th since they have been sitting on the shelf and look so sharp.

This weekend I came across a scenario that struck me and my opponent as odd. So I thought I'd double check with the people who probably know the book better.

Biovore shoots and the template misses. Spores are then places 'anywhere under the template', so within 2" of the unit it missed. No where does it say they count as arriving from reserve, or deep striking, like I expected. So can the spore mines then declare an assault in that assault phase?
